I hate to be a nuisance, but I'm having problems installing the package editor.

When the installation screen pops up and asks you where you want to store the files, I click "Continue", but it says that it can't save the file under Program Files (x86), the default option.

Has anyone encountered this problem or know a way around it?

Baxter,

I had the same problem but found a way to get it to install. Instead of installing the program to Program Files(x86), create a new folder in a different directory (I just did it on the desktop) and direct it to install it in the new folder. You don't need to change anything else in the installation process, just leave it set to default and it should install.


Stew,

I am having problems at this point:

Your looking for a file that looks like this ebf_0x89c300288413d590.packag_ you should rename this package so it overides the original package, you can make a backup of the orginal package first, so your new file will look something like this ebf_0x89c301286c951870.package.

The only files I see in the library folder are the package files for the lots that I saved there. I see the lot that I am trying to edit, which is the file I opened in the Postal program, but it's name is not like the ones listed in your example. I tried changing the name of the packaged file, but it still did not work. How do I know what to change the name to? I just added a number near the end, and changed a "d" to a "c" to test it, but it didn't work either. I think I am missing a step here.... or something. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help,
Ed

I know that this is quite an old thread, but I just got to the point where I would like to make this work, but I'm stuck at the same point as Ed. There is no file ending in packag_ . When I go to Lama and open the file, I can see the pic there (it's 512x512), but when I start the game the lot is there with the usual pic.

I tried all the stuff Ed did, but nothing. It's driving me crazy. Could somebody please help.

All the help from Stw was great though, thanks a lot.
